Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a sound pressure level by making the back face edge part of a diaphragm to which a piezoelectric sounding body is fitted face to a frame, installing an elastic supporting piece in a facing part and increasing the acreage of the diaphragm. CONSTITUTION:The circumference edge part of a diaphragm 3 is inserted into the channel of a frame 1. The frame 1 covers the circumference face of the diaphragm 3 and a front face edge part and a back face edge part connected to it. The diaphragm 3 is supported with the frame 1 by an elastic supporting piece 2. Then, the diaphragm 3 can be enlarged to the approximately same size of the frame 1, thus, the acreage S of the diaphragm 3 becomes large, and a sound pressure level becomes high. Thus, the acreage of the diaphragm 3 becomes large and the sound pressure level is improved.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a diaphragm is used that is made up of two large and small plates pasted together, but the present invention is not limited to this.
It can also be applied to a structure in which a piezoelectric sounding body is provided on the back side of a diaphragm made of a single plate, and a plate with an E-shaped cross section with protrusions on the periphery and center can be used as a holder. It has a structure in which a pair of piezoelectric sounding elements are prepared, and they are opposed with the protrusion forming side on the inside, and a piezoelectric sounding element is supported under pressure between the projections in the center, and the area facing the diaphragm is approximately equal to that of the piezoelectric sounding element. The present invention can also be applied to a structure in which a small holder, which does not function as a diaphragm but only has the function of supporting the piezoelectric sounding body, is attached to the back of the diaphragm.

As described in detail above, in the case of the present invention, the rear edge of the diaphragm and the frame face each other, so the diaphragm can be moved up to the size of the space between the frame and the road. The sound pressure level can be improved by increasing the area of the diaphragm, and since an elastic support piece is provided on the back edge of the diaphragm, it is not visible from the front and there is no air leakage. Since the sound pressure level is less likely to decrease, there is no need to use an integral piece for the elastic support piece, and this provides excellent effects such as improved material efficiency.
